Well it has been quite a while...

Should we or shouldn't we? That seems to be the question! With facebook, the blogging thing has barely been on our minds, but I must admit that I kind of miss it. I guess I will give it one more try to see if I really want to start it up again or not. We shall see! Don't even know if anyone else does it anymore or not, so if not,then what is the sense of us trying to keep one up??? Give me a shout out if anyone still does it or not and that will help me make my decision! Thanks!

Gone from here, but forever in our hearts. We love and miss you Bran!

My beautiful family

Rosebuds

Hello. Glad that you decided to take a minute and check in on us. I guess it would be nice if we told you a little bit about our family. Mark and I met in 1994 on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. I grew up on the island and Mark had come there to serve a 3 year tour in the US Coast Guard. Well needless to say we met, married a year later on June 17th and he did not leave Ocracoke without me. On July 25, 1996, we welcomed our first little girl, Courtney Brianna Rose into our family. She was joined 3 years later on February 23, 1999 by her sister, Leslea Nichole Rose. After a few moves, first days of school, and a long wait, the girls finally got a chance to welcome their little sister, Maddison Eve Rose into the family on August 18, 2004. Our family was finally complete and we could not love 3 girls more than we love the 3 that we were so blessed to have. Mark has been in the Coast Guard for 16 years now and his job has brought us to our current residence in West Olive, Michigan. We are so blessed to be stationed in such a beautiful place. The winters are cold, but the falls, springs, and summers are wonderful. We are far from where we grew up, but we are very happy and content and glad to call Michigan home. We hope that our friends and families back home enjoy reading this blog so that they can keep up on all of the happenings in the Rose's lives. Enjoy and happy blogging!!!!
